Milind Bhandarkar commented on PIG-832:
---------------------------------------
Instead of a list, if you make it a map (i.e. short name -> fully qualified
class name), it will be much easier, as it will guarantee that each name has
exactly one udf class associated with it. It will also allow users to use udfs
that have class names which are pig reserved words. For example, If I have an
existing UDF with a class name such as load or store, I can still use them with
a different name like myload, without having to rename the class.
So, I suggest:
{code}
java -jar pig.jar
-Dimport.list+=MyLoad:com.xxxx.Load,Flatten:com.xxxx.Flatten,...
{code}
If I do not specify -Dimport.list on the pig command line, then the default
import.list is used.
Thoughts ?
